Power BI using Standpoint Online.

Hi Folks and experts,

 

We were testing the Power BI Desktop and add a Power BI app on our SharePoint Online of Office 365 tenant for one of the customers for demo proposes in April 2017.
 
We are creating new dashboard based on a SharePoint Online list today, PowerBI app is asking to upgrade to Power BI Pro and there is no way to skip the dialog box.

Eventually, we had to upgrade to Power BI Pro and its now showing that Pro Trail is 319 days left as shown:

we  checked the Power BI FAQ  about users who have signed up before May 3, 2017 (like us)

Q: Is it possible to use Power BI app using Office 365 (https://app.powerbi.com) without using Power BI Pro edition but using Power BI free edition?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Seth_C_Bauer, Thank you for the detailed answer.

 

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Yes, "Publish to web" is free. Please refer to the official documents.

"Licensing and Pricing

You need to be a Microsoft Power BI user to use Publish to web. The consumers of your report (the readers, viewers) do not need to be Power BI users."

@Anonymous The licensing changes are all around sharing. If you are sharing content, you need a Pro license. If you are consuming shared content, you need a Pro license. The only exceptions are if your free users are covered by a premium add-on license (for large companies or embedding)

All Free licenses give you all the data sources, gateways, and capabilities of the Pro license -> with the exception that you cannot share to anyone. It is only you personal account / workspace.

@Seth_C_Bauer Thank you so much for your reply. 

We were checking the "Embed in SharePoint Online (Preview)" yesterday which requires Power BI pro license 

 

  1. if we just use the "Publish to Web"  (used Power BI Desktop for SharePoint Online site and Published to Web option) instead of "Embed in SharePoint Online (Preview)", then we think we dont need Power BI Pro.

  2. copy the Embeded code as shown below: 

    02 Embed Code.jpg
  3. then inserted the  Power BI code onto SharePoint page


    03 Added the Power BI iFrame code.jpg 

 

Please let us know, if our assumption using  “Publish to Web" option uses the free edition of Power BI.



@Anonymous Publish to web will expose your data to everyone on the internet... this is probably not the method by which you want to share. I've written my opinion on this several times, you need to be very cautious and understand what you are using when you "Publish to Web" -> this is only for public facing data.
